Fish Tales

We have some very lucky kids around here! Nana and Pops took Jackson and Francis on a charter fishing adventure with "Captain Bruce". Of course, in the days leading up to the trip, I tried my best to temper expectations a little. "You know fishing requires a great deal of patience. I know you are excited, but more often than not, fisherman come home empty handed. You need to just enjoy being out on the boat with Nana and Pops and forget about the fish." The harder I tried to administer a dose of reality, the more excited they got. "Mom, Pops told us Captain Bruce had some kids out there the other night and they caught some huge striped bass!"Anyway, I will let you see the results for yourselves:

Final tally: Francis: 2 Blue and 2 Striped Bass including the biggest fish of the day a 48" Striped Bass and Jackson: 4 Blue fish and one  42" Striped Bass.
